Firebug 1.2a20X does not work on Ubuntu's HH firefox 3b5 install.

[Viktor Kojouharov]

Hello,

I'm trying to use fb 1.2, since 1.1 gives the security error when
using the console. However, fb 1.2 does not work at all. On startup,
the first selected tab shows that it has N errors in the status bar
(even though fb is not even enabled, as the docs say that it is
disabled by default, and I perged the prefs.js related to firebug).

Pressing F12, or clicking on the bug icon, do not show the fb panel.
Nothing happens. Right clicking on the icon only has 'Clear console'
and 'open in new window'. Opening firebug in new window shows a messed-
up fb. The console has this message:

Firebug's log limit has been reached. %S entries not shown.

None of the styles are loaded, going to the HTML tab does not have any
images (like the '+' for the tree, etc). It uses the system style (in
my case, dark gray for the background), instead of white. Every tab
shows the above error, as well as any commands I've tried to run, like
'>>> 1'. The said commands do not do anything at all.

Started from the terminal, firefox has the following output:

Hi,

I'm getting the same problem using Ubuntu Hardy Heron and Firefox
3.0b5. Is there any way to solve it?

Have you tried to create a new fresh profile?

I'm having the same problem on my Hardy / FF 3b5 setup. I did try
moving my old profile out of the way. The only thing I have not yest
tried is removing the 'Ubuntu Firefox Modifications' extension that is
included in the Ubuntu package.

I'm getting the same errors. Using Firefox 3 Beta 5 on Kubuntu Hardy
Heron

I get exactly the same problem with F12 not opening the panel, and
opening in new window showing a messed up output with broken images:

I created a new fresh profile and did clean install of Firebug Beta
1.1.0b12 and the problem persists, see screenshot:

same problem here with ubuntu hardy :(

I was able to reproduce this (Firebug 1.2.0a20X/Firefox 3.0b5/WinXP).
Fixed, committed to 1.2 R559

I've checked out the 1.2 R559 from

http://fbug.googlecode.com/svn/branches/firebug1.2/

built with ant on Kubuntu Hardy Heron, and installed in new profile on
Firefox 3b5

Still get "Firebug's log limit has been reached. %S entries not
shown." in the console. F12 not working.

And get the following error from firefox on command line:

FirebugService fbs.DBG_FBS_CREATION: false fbs.DBG_FBS_BP:false

Does it work if you use
- FF3b5 from mozilla.org
- a nightly from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ?

Mike

[Darren]

No.

I've just installed latest nightly build, as advised.

Created a fresh profile, and installed my build of fbug (taken from
code just checked out from svn), and tried 1.2 release linked from
getfirebug.com - neither fixed the issue, still seeing corrupt
output.

[Jan Odvarko]

Could anybody please test this even with Firebug 1.2.0a19 (revision
545)?
Honza

[DivineGod]

I think this must be a firefox problem. The 1.2.0a19X is also not
working properly.

I'm using latest nightly build on linux.

[Bryan Forbes]

I set browser.dom.window.dump.enabled = true in about:config and ran
firefox-3.0 from the command line and I get this output when I open
Firebug in a new window (via a right click on the "bug" icon and
selecting "Open in new window"):

I hope this helps. If you need any more output, let me know.

[Jan Odvarko]

Could you please, check the "PANELS" and "INITIALIZE" options
in the FBTrace panel, restart Firebug and send the logs?
Honza

[DivineGod]

The buttons do nothing. How is firebug restarted?
Where are the output from the logs?

[Darren]

Looks like there's a fix for firefox on the way...

When I click on the firebug icon with those two options set to
"true" (via about:config), I get this output:

The release shown in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425139
works for me. DOM panel works well, but firebug still open just in a
new windows. Not in a panel on firefox window.

[Francisco]

Revision 562 works for me in Firefox 3b5 on Ubuntu Hardy. DOM
inspector, and javascript debugger seems to work fine, but it still
open in a new window and not in a pane inside the browser.

[Joost]

The last Ubuntu Hardy updates combined with the new Firebug 1.2.0a21X
fixes these problems for me. Although I haven't checked more complex
functions, basic DOM/CSS editing works. Great stuff!

[jag]

same here, installed the official 8.04 release but couldn't get it
from the mozilla website.

ran 'sudo apt-get firebug' instead, installed and working fine, good
work to all involved this new release really is a gem!
